Dear Creatures Look Book S/S 10

My talented friends at Dear Creatures, Bianca & Rob,  have done it again and have designed the quintessential, charming, Spring collection! This seasons collection features Dear Creature staples such as Sailor Inspired shift dresses and clever prints but also incorporates new pieces that will sure become instant classics like Jersey separates, elegant strapless dresses and clean cut outs.

The concept of the look book was inspired the ideal Southern California housewife and a house sitter who dreams of becoming "Mrs. Jones". Even grown up girls like to daydream and play dress up :)

I cannot wait to own some pieces from this very sophisticated Dear Creatures collection!

Great job team DC xoxo

Mods Mayday 2011

There comes a time of year that all mod kids look forward to -Mods May Day. And here in Los Angeles,  the biggest event is Soulsides Mods May Day night.

The event took place last night at the Cock n Bull Pub in Santa Monica and a good time was had by all! The club was packed, the dance floor never empty, and mods from all over the country where there for the celebration!

I truly enjoyed myself this year looking at all the sharp gals and guys, meeting new people, admiring the vintage scooters and dancing to Northern Soul all night. I even left with the nights prestigious "Best Dressed Modette" trophy- a true honor considering all the well dressed girls at the event!

Fabiola and I. I loved her outfit!

My darling, darling Gigi.

Gigi, Maria and I.

Maria, one of the friendliest people I've met!

Ahoy hoy! Version 2.0

Welcome ladies and germs to the newly improved, revamped Ahoy hoy Blogspot! (Please hold your applause till after the end of the entry)

I was lucky enough to have a very talented, extremely creative friend of mine, Miss Lili Chin, whip up one of her ultra stylish illustrations for my blog. I must say I couldn't be happier with the results! Not only did she make me look too cute in her rendition of me (thanks Lili!!!) , but her drawing with its bouncy font, and vibrant colors, has brought fresh air to my blog! It's like spring cleaning for Ahoy hoy!

Check out Lili's artwork below! You would agree that this girl has skills!
